Went to Marigot Market this morning. Eric dropped me off and parked in the NON blue zone parking, since we don't have the disc. Success! Found my garnet pendant, which I'm wearing now! Also found some lovely tiles! The pictures really don't do the pendant or the tiles justice, but you get the drift. Today apparently is 'music day' or something to that effect in France. Apparently music all over today, including some children singing at the market, which was nice. Most of the songs were in French, but one particularly lovely song was the Whitney Houston song, which I can't remember the name of now, but goes "....I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadow.. I found the greatest love of all, inside of me." Great to meet also with JimCandD, who happened to be there. Back "home" here now and the water is just stunningly beautiful today! Life is good!

Pat--just posted the pictures, just now. Enjoy!
We had a MAJOR disaster just now, Eric broke the corkscrew!!!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Shocked.gif" alt="" /> That delayed uploading some of the pictures.. Thank god, he found the maid with a replacement, so we're back in business!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/circle.gif" alt="" />

Mort--For the first time in a LONG time, we're planning on going downtown tomorrow, so will get something better to hang it on, as I don't like that ring.. They gave me the ring for free.

You got to get Eric out of those crew socks and into no show or ankle socks. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Yes, it is. Most of her tiles are supposed to be SXM scenes. The one is Mullet and another one view of Saba.

email address for the tile lady is [email]mickaindi@yahoo.com.[/email] I don't think she has a website at present. The website for the garnet people is www.thegarnet.comAs far as other SXM artists, I love Roland Richardson. There is apparently a lady that does 'sand art' downtown Pburg, that we intend to check out tomorrow.

Yes, they are definitely there every Wednesday. I don't know if all of the vendors are there otherwise, but the tile lady said that she was there this week the days there were cruise ships in.

Sounds like we have similar tastes! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Smile.gif" alt="" /> Yes, I went by the Secret Spot, but didn't really see anything I wanted. I rarely wear t-shirts, although they did have some nice looking ones.

Not sure if it's the same one or not, but there is supposedly a sand art lady in Old Street in Phillipsburg--which I read about on biglar's blog! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Smile.gif" alt="" /> We intend to check it out tomorrow.

Not sure what kind of art you are looking for, but I am partial to, in no particular order: - Ruby Bute
- Jean-Pierre Straub
- Marie Moine
I have several pieces by all of them, and they all have studios. If you want more info and can't find out more by googling, let me know. This site can get you started. SXM Artists

For me, I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do with them. The small ones are meant to be coasters, but not sure that's what I will use them for. The larger ones, the lady said that Michael's sells square frames that they fit in perfectly. Those I will definitely hang somehow.

I have 2 hanging on the wall as you walk into my kitchen. They look great, and sure help when the weather gets snowy!

Apparently all the designs can come on any color tile. She was actually willing to make one for us if we came back the next day, on a different background, but we just chose from what she had. I don't know for sure, but I guess she is there when there are ships in? Not sure..
